Self-Care
More and more people will demand R&R for their bodies in 2019, says Katia Pryce, founder of DanceBody, as sports injuries continue to climb (in the U.S. there are more than 8 million sports injuries a year!) and we continue to live life at a frenetic pace. Self-care can come in the form of massage, stretching, acupuncture, meditation or physical therapy to allow you to relax while your body restores itself. "Several of my clients make this a weekly priority since they are using their body so much," says Pryce. "You need to make sure if you're going to work out hard you restore hard too."

Improved Nutrition
What you eat can affect how well you're able to move your body. "I think we'll continue to see a very strong focus on nutrition trends for improved performance and body composition," says Chelsea Amengual, RD, manager of fitness programming and nutrition at Virtual Health Partners. "And while I hope these trends err towards a healthier, science-based perspective, there's no denying that the connection between nutrition and fitness is here to stay.
